Valley Spur Trail System Cross Country Ski Report – 03/21

The time has come to temporarily suspend all grooming operations at Valley Spur. With the warm temps and rain expected over the next few days it will be in the best interest of our base to preserve it in the event that Winter decides to make another run at us. If our base remains mostly intact and we get some snow along with colder temps that are expected to last a few days, we would consider grooming again on at least some of the system. We will certainly keep everyone informed should that happen.

Hope you can get here this morning. Good skiing early. Packed skate lanes that Dan has loosened up for us. Yahoo!

FROM Munising Bay Trail Network - MBTN >> We’re working on getting the snow bike loop at the upper parking lot at Valley Spur opened back up.
If you need a place to get outside and get some fresh air grab your snowshoes or wide back country skis and join the Panking party.
We’ve packed a double wide trail on the first part of the crazy 8 loop to make it easier for the groomer to make a few laps. The second loop of the figure 8 needs Panking too. The more the merrier. #valleyspur #crosscountry #snowphotos #SkiMichigan

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Tuesday the 17th of March. The UP has been hit by a Historic Snow Storm and snow is still coming down. Very high winds (62 mile an hour) that have taken out more trees then we can count. Power is out, roads are closed and we have no idea when our kids will be back to school. The Valley Spur Committee has made a tough and the right decision to end grooming for the season. The work and financial cost it would take does not warrant our reopening. We are all sad that our ski season is being cut short. The forecast for Thursday is calling for a rain/snow mix. We have had a great season for our Passholders and Visitors and are very thankful. We can't say enough good about our Groomer John Cromell. John you are so appreciated, along with the many volunteers it takes to run Valley Spur. VS is a great community to be apart of. I don't have a total snowfall total but at least 30". I have attached a pictures of my home in down town Munising. This is after it was snowplown the day before. Locals please attach pictures so others can understand. We can't get to the Valley at this time. Stay safe and we hope you come back and ski with us next year.

FROM Friends of Valley Spur >> Sunday the 15th of March and The Weather Sevice has predicted a Historic Snow Storm with high winds for the next couple of days. There will be no grooming until this storm is over. Once the storm is over we will assess the damages from falling trees to see if it warrants the time and effort it will need to accomplish opening trails. Please be safe and not go into the woods during these high winds. The lodge will be closed until further notice. Stay tuned to this Facebook page for further updates. #valleyspur #SkiMichigan ...
